Do you mean it doesnt move or it is coming out and something holding it back?
Pulled the tail shaft and gearbox mounts undone?

 

[BIG DYL]

yer tail shart and crossmember are off wirering loom is out, power steering lines off and exurst is off but the engine wont budge

engine mount?

Mate,you should buy a workshop manual and follow that.It makes life a hell of a lot easier if youve never removed an engine or done much mechanical work before. You will learn a lot from it too.As already mentioned,theres 2 engine mounts that have to be undone before the engine will move.

did you remove the shifter from the box as it might be getting caught

 

[BIG DYL]

yes i removed the engine mounts... and the shifter.... i have removed an engine out of a vn befor just it was auto

 

[shreks vp]

power steering line or air con lines or see if extractors ect getting caught

 

[BIG DYL]

power steering lines allreadt off, no aircon, etracters ar off... it kind of looks like the gearbox is stuck on the power steering rack
